I am a partner with Quest Venture Partners and we invest in early stage companies with great ideas, and even greater people behind them. We typically are the first institutional money in, investing between $100k-$1.5mm, with our sweet spot being around $500k. We believe in working closely with our portfolio companies in helping them to succeed and so I spend much of my time working with our portfolio.

I provide advice, strategy and market insights to the great companies at 500 startups and in return they provide me joy and contaminate me with their energy!

I had the pleasure of working with Sudha, and Siva for three years on the board of Vivu as the company grew from a small startup to one that was successfully sold to Polycom (PLCM).

I was an active Board Member working very closely with the company until it was successfully sold to Skype. During my tenure with the company, I worked to cut monthly burn from 450k to 220k, guided on product strategy, helped establish key performance metrics, participated in recruiting executive team members including replacing the CEO, and actively was involved in successful fundraising for the company as well as led investor negotiations for the successful sale of the company.
